As federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the country pursue the gang across America, Arthur must make difficult choices to ensure the survival of the gang while being torn apart by his own conscience.

4. 'The Elder Scrolls VI'
There is no doubt that The Elder Scrolls VI is one of the most highly anticipated games of the decade. After the release of the previous installment in the series, Skyrim, in 2011, fans have been clamoring for more. And it looks like they will finally get their wish, as Bethesda has confirmed that The Elder Scrolls VI is in development.
While little is known about the game at this point, it is safe to say that it will be set in the continent of Tamriel, just like all the other games in the series. And, judging by the teaser trailer that was released, it seems like the game will take place in the province of Hammerfell.
This is all speculation at this point, but it is exciting to think about what The Elder Scrolls VI will bring to the table. With any luck, we will get our first look at the game at this year's E3 conference.

8. 'Spider-Man 2'
Unlike last year's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which was a cross-generational release on both PS4 and PS5, Spider-Man 2 will be a PS5 exclusive.
In the short trailer, which showed the two Spider-Men teaming up to take on various villains, no gameplay was shown as the mysterious man expresses his desire for a real challenge, a gauntlet that will be taken up by the iconic Spider-Man villain Venom.
It's unclear if Venom will join Peter and Miles as a playable hero in Spider-Man 2, or if players will battle the web-wielding villain in the upcoming sequel. With a release date set for sometime in 2023, Insomniac has plenty of time to reveal more information in the future.

It's been a long time since we've seen a proper Spider-Man game, and even longer since we've seen a good one. Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 is the first game to truly capture the feel of being the wall-crawler, and it's a joy to play from start to finish.
The open-world of New York City is beautifully realized, and there's plenty to do and see in it. The main story missions are well-written and engaging, and the side-quests are also worth checking out. The combat is enjoyable and easy to get into, and there's a good variety of enemies to face. The game also looks great, and runs smoothly on both PS4 and PS4 Pro.
If you're a fan of Spider-Man, or simply looking for a great open-world game to sink your teeth into, Spider-Man 2 is definitely going to be worth picking up.

10. 'Super Mario Odyssey 2'
The wait is finally over – Super Mario Odyssey 2 is here! The highly anticipated sequel to one of the best games of all time doesn’t disappoint, offering up more of the same amazing sandbox gameplay that made the original so special.
If you’ve never played an Odyssey game before, the premise is simple – Mario travels to different “Kingdoms” in order to rescue Princess Peach from the evil Bowser. Along the way he’ll collect Power Moons, which are used to fuel his Odyssey airship, and defeat enemies using his new friend Cappy.
Odyssey 2 expands on this formula in a few key ways. For one, there are now two player characters – Mario and Luigi – who can be controlled separately or together. There are also new Kingdoms to explore, including the scorching Hot Kingdom and the icy Snow Kingdom.
The biggest change, however, is the addition of “Super Mario Odyssey 2” mode. This new mode not only introduces a new story, but also allows players to collect special “Dark Side” Power Moons. These can only be obtained by completing challenging platforming sections and defeating powerful enemies.
Whether you’re a seasoned Odyssey vet or a total newcomer, Super Mario Odyssey 2 is an absolute must-play. It’s a stunning game that’s packed with things to see and do, and it’s sure to please everyone who gives it a try.
